There is nothing better than watching the Olympics. Ok being in the Olympics might take the cake but I gave up that hope years ago so I am resigned to watching from afar. This summer is especially exciting because I know...well am acquainted with a few of the athletes that will compete in the coming weeks. Here are a few to watch.
Kate Ziegler:
Kate Ziegler:
I cannot say that Kate is my favorite person in the whole entire world, but in the spirit of the Olympics will cheer for the hometown "hero" anyway. Our paths cross less and less these days but I wish her the best in Beijing. She will swim in both the 400m and 800m Free.
Sam Stitt:
Sam is still the goofy kid that I swam with on the Highlands Whomping Turtles for a season or two during his junior and senior year in high school. Sam will be competing the Men's Quadruple Sculls. Along with Sam, Giuseppe Lanzone will compete in the Men's Four. I do not know Giuseppe, but he is from Annandale, Va.
Stewart Glenister shouldn't make a big splash in the Men's 50 Free representing American Samoa, but I'll be on the lookout for him. He is currently serving our country as a cadet at
West Point. Go Army!

How cool! I watched the Opening Ceremony last night. I missed it on Friday so we DVR'd it. The huge LCD screen was amazing.
I'll keep an eye on your Olympic friends as I watch the competitions.
Updates please! It's not right to keep your fans waiting for a new post
